You can't look backwards and forward at the same time. Stop using 'what was' to determine 'what will be'! Your tomorrow does not have to like your yesterday. Where you came from doesn't determine where you are going! God does not use your past to determine your future ... so why should you? ~Paula White

Oh, Holy God..May I never come into your presence lightly, with superficial words or a distracted heart...Help me to approach your throne with true humility, ever mindful of the grace I never earned, continually thankful for the mercy I don't deserve a...nd the awesome debt of love I can never repay.

Chasing Lilacs was the first book I won on a giveaway. I was thrilled with the story. Lilacs are my favorite flower, that stems from childhood where we had a large tall lilac tree in our yard. I also began singing when I was a child and one of the songs I sang was about a little boy and a little girl. The little boy asked the little girl for a kiss and she said she would never let him kiss her unless apples grew upon the lilac tree. By the end of the song....the last line was about the little girl tying apples on a lilac tree. Cute and very appropriate.

Carla's story was well written and I enjoyed it very much. Perhaps it's time for me to read it again!
